Dating was not something that was usually on Fluttershy’s radar. Due to her regular chats with Rarity, she was no stranger to many of the cultural aspects of dating and from her own work, she knew about the more instinctual side. And while she usually kept to herself, she wasn’t a complete hermit; she had seen more than a few handsome stallions. But actually acting on her feelings or playing into any advances? She had never been able to do those things. Her heart was too gentle to face that kind of vulnerability. But when she saw those forms, she knew she had to try, just once. It had only taken her all the way until the deadline to actually fill out the form and turn it back in.
With every step prompting a reevaluation, finding out who her date would be was no different. She had not expected to actually have heard of the stallion she was to be paired with. Where she had believed she would simply be freaking out at a name that didn’t mean anything more than that she was really going through with it. But she knew who Blueblood was, not by actual acquaintance but by reputation. Blueblood was the stallion that had been awful to Rarity at the Grand Galloping Gala.
From what her close friend had told her, Blueblood had been self-centered and had expected Rarity to do everything for him. But as she waited for him to arrive, she found she couldn’t keep up a stony front. It had been a long time since that day, he could have changed. Or maybe he was having an off day. All she could think about was how she had felt when she had placed her information on a card and put that card into the world in some silly hope that all she needed was luck to make up for her shortcomings. And when she remembered how she felt, she had to wonder how he must have felt and she couldn’t dream of holding his past against him.
The place that had been chosen for them was nice by her standards, not too intimate and with enough atmosphere to be a point of conversation in itself. The Ponyville Folk Art museum was only about as old as Fluttershy herself was, but its rotating collection had developed considerably in the time that Fluttershy had lived within Ponyville. The recent string of wacky events that had taken place after Twilight Sparkle had come to town had accelerated that trend even more. Best of all, it was a museum, so maybe Blueblood would appreciate would enjoy it as a hub of culture.
(Tag; Blueblood. I can find a picture of Fluttershy wearing pretty stuff to illustrate that point if you'd like ^^)
